Ed McMillan, who has served on the University of Illinois Board of Trustees for the last six years, was reappointed for a new six-year term and named the new chairman of the board. We caught up with him about serving for the past year with Lucas Frye and what’s to come in the next six years.

Lucas Frye, who just graduated from the University of Illinois in May 2015, spent his senior year as the student trustee for the Urbana-Champaign campus of the University of Illinois. We caught up with him to ask him about the experience.

Landon Frye // '12 // Easton, Ill. // Assistant VP -- Farm Credit Services (Fall 2013)1.) Tell us about your career life? At Farm Credit, I serve the area of Coles and Edgar County, providing financial services to farmers and agribusinesses big and small. The role and responsibilities truly put the entirety of my Agriculture Economics degree to good use. It is very fulfilling to see farmers and agriculture communities thriving with favorable grain prices and respectable production during the recent drought. Despite a later planting start, hopefully 2013 will be a more fruitful crop.
